We provide further detail on the global nanobiotechnology sample from which our exemplar was drawn, on our methodology for developing a proxy for patent value, and on the North American de novo nanobiotechnology firms which provide context. In section S1, we describe the selection and classification of our global nanobiotechnology sample. In section S2, we argue that the value of a patent to a ...

After the progress made during the Genomics Era, Bioinformatics was tasked to support the first flow of information generated by Nanobiotechnology at the early stages of development. This challenge requires the adaptation of classical bioinformatics tools, and also computational chemistry tools, to store, standardize, analyze and visualize the information generated in Nanobiotechnology. Therefo...

Nanobiotechnology is an emerging field that is potentially changing the way we treat diseases through drug delivery and tissue engineering. Methods of targeting nanoparticles to specific sites of the body while avoiding capture by vital organs are major hurdles that need to be answered. Whether actual or perceived, the potential health hazards associated with the production, distribution and us...

In the recent years the nanobiotechnology field and the Journal of Nanobiotechnology readership have witnessed an increase in interest towards the nanoparticles and their biological effects and applications. These include bottom-up and molecular self-assembly, biological effects of naked nanoparticles and nano-safety, drug encapsulation and nanotherapeutics, and novel nanoparticles for use in m...

Nanooncology, the application of nanobiotechnology to the management of cancer, is currently the most important chapter of nanomedicine. Nanobiotechnology has refined and extended the limits of molecular diagnosis of cancer, for example, through the use of gold nanoparticles and quantum dots. Nanobiotechnology has also improved the discovery of cancer biomarkers, one such example being the sens...

The confluence of nanotechnology and biotechnology provides significant commercial opportunities. By identifying, classifying and tracking firms with capabilities in both biotechnology and nanotechnology over time, we analyze the emergence and evolution of the global nanobiotechnology industry. Research in nanotechnology has expanded rapidly in the last 15 years, but the development of commerci...
